Key result
Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI) provided an angle-independent evaluation of short-axis mechanics and left ventricular dynamics in a heart failure patient who did not respond to CRT.
Why the study?
Can Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI) be used to assess left ventricular dynamics in a heart failure patient non-responsive to CRT?
Population

Can Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI) be used to assess left ventricular dynamics in a heart failure patient non-responsive to CRT?
Velocity Vector Imaging provides an angle-independent method to evaluate short-axis left ventricular mechanics, which may help assess patients who do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Vannan et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Heart failure (n=1). Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI) was evaluated on Assessment of left ventricular dynamics. Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI) provided an angle-independent evaluation of short-axis mechanics and left ventricular dynamics in a heart failure patient who did not respond to CRT.
